Title: Foundry Old West Massacre
Post by: Cholly on 28 July 2011, 06:08:10 PM

Not sure who else has spotted this so thought I'd let people know., Foundry have seriously chopped back their Old West collection and it looks to be a permenant move. I know they have lines not on their website which get cycled round but after enquiring about these was informed the only likely source for old west miniatures no longer displayed was evilbay.

well, but it makes sense for them: probably they are thinking about making a new line: if they will continue selling the old ones too the people will buy those! But i really suspect that a price increasing is near ;)

Fuck 'em. There are soooo many other good options out there, and more reasonably priced, that Foundry are going to put themselves out of business if they continue w/ their current BS.

Try some of those lovely Artizan. Ck here:

a couple of years ago I send them an email asking for the old Algonquins and Abenakis indians, they sold them to me, just in packs and not as single figures.
this I suspect could be  the main reason.

noticed this as well, they've really chopped back on the mountain men etc.

have to admit though that i've never bought a foundry figure from foundry... (ebay and bring & buys for me!!) - need to wait till some more mountain men hit ebay
